a prominent resident. He served several years as Justice of the
Peace and held other positions of honor and trust. The latter
years of his life were spent in Kansas, returning to Kokomo about
a year ago. Deceased was a man who commanded the esteem and respect
of all who knew him and the news of his death will be received
with deep regret by a wide circle of acquaintanced. A wife and
eight children survive, the children being CHARLES and WALTER
of this city, SILAS D. and M.W. of Wichita, Kansas. N. L. of Hutchinson,

bravely carried the burden of family and home, finding God's grace
sufficient for her task. Only those who knew her best knew the
secret prayers openly rewarded, the quiet faith that found an
answer. She was quick to sense the need of those around her and
ready to help in every good work. She was a consistent member
of the Friends church in which relationship she will be greatly
missed. She leaves to mourn her death her ten children, thirty
grandchildren and a host of friends.
Mother, more than three score years and ten
Thou hast lived a gift of God.
Beautiful and blest those years So we bow and kiss the rod
That smites our lonely hearts,
Assured that angels still have care
O'er mother now at home.
Where day is cloudless clear and fair.
